Abstract

When a seated passenger protection device (airbag) that has expanded and deployed during a side collision is supported from the rear side by the cover of an airbag case, a large bending moment acts on the cover, preventing the airbag from fully exhibiting its protective function. For this reason, an airbag case 20 is internally provided with an airbag 22, and has a cover 20b, the seated-passenger-side side wall of which can rotate upward, and the top edge of the side wall acting as the center of rotation. The surface 20b1 on the seated passenger side of the cover 20b is provided with a support member (rib) 30. When the inflated airbag 22 expands and deploys from an opening formed in the side of the seated passenger side of an arm rest 16, the cover 20b is pushed by the airbag and rotates upward. The support member 30 on the seated-passenger-side surface of the cover assumes an upright orientation, and supports the cover from the rear upon being positioned above the airbag case. The cover 20b resists the bending moment acting thereon during a side collision, and the airbag 22 is able to fully exhibit its protective function.

When suturing part 44 rupture and strengthen cloth 40 and handrail epidermis 16d (in the case where cloth is not strengthened, only handrail Epidermis) suture rupture when, the seated person side (left side) of handrail side formed opening K.Then, air bag 22 is from opening K Bloat and launch to the seated person side of seat 10L.Also, lid 20b is pressed and with the rotary shaft of airbag housing by air bag 22 Rotate (by jack-up) upward centered on 20a1.
Seam due to strengthening the epidermis 16d (in the case where cloth is not strengthened, only the epidermis of handrail) of cloth 40 and handrail Rupture is closed, the rib 30 in the surface 20b1 of lid that lodges is released from the pressing (restriction) for strengthening cloth and epidermis.Also, from pressing The rib 30 being released in pressure rotates 90 ° due to the force of force application part 30a centered on support shaft 30c, the limiting unit of rib 30b1 is abutted with the face 20b1 of the seated person side of lid.
During rotations of the lid 20b centered on rotary shaft 20a1 of airbag housing upward is with support shaft 30c with rib 30 With air bag 22, from opening K, to the left seat 10L sides bloat and launch and while carrying out for the rotation of the heart.That is, when lid 20b is by air bag 22 pressings and when rotating upward, during the rotation of lid, as shown in Fig. 2 (C), rib 30 is rotated centered on support shaft 30c 90 ° and erect relative to lid substantially vertical, and with the upper surface (upper surface of airbag housing) of the main body of airbag housing 20a2 is abutted, and substantially erects on the upper surface of main body vertical.
Observation Fig. 2 (C) and Fig. 3 (B) understand that rib 30 is abutted with the upper surface 20a2 of main body.Therefore, have rotated upward 180 ° and the lid 20b that substantially erects are supported from behind vertical by rib 30.Relative to the seated person side of lid face 20b1 and It (is the upper surface 20a2 of main body for accurately to be located in space 16c1 ' of the rib 30 for erecting on airbag housing on airbag housing Top) and support lid 20b from behind, and lid is supported into into substantially vertical.
As shown in Fig. 3 (B), air bag 22 is along the lid 20b for erecting.In other words, by the front 20b2 for erecting of gland body And bloat and launch to the seated person side of handrail 16.Also, the rib 30 that lid 20b is erected and the air bag 22 bloated and after launching Clamp before and after and substantially erect vertical.
When occurring from the side collision F on right side, the side shifting to the left of vehicle 1.The seated person of the seat 10L in distally is wanted Its seated position is stayed in, therefore the seated person carries out inertia movement from from the point of view of vehicle to side collision side (right side).But, air bag 22 bloat and launch between the handrail 16 and seated person of the seat in distally, therefore air bag is born towards side collision side (right side) Act on the inertia force FL (with reference to Fig. 3 (B)) of seated person.
The inertia force FL of the seated person that air bag 22 is subject to is delivered to lid 20b via air bag, therefore bending moment is acted on In lid.But, lid 20b is supported from behind and can not rearward be rotated by rib 30.Therefore, overcome and acted in side collision In the bending moment of lid, lid continues the position for being located at substantially vertical, and by lid antagonism inertia force FL is applied to air bag 22 Counter-force.That is, the lid 20b for being supported by rib 30 plays a role as counter-force unit.Therefore, do not thicken lid or by rigidity compared with In the case that high material is formed, rib is only set on lid, lid can just bear bending moment during side collision.Cause This, bears bending moment and with sufficient counter-force support air bag 22 from behind, and distally is protected by air bag in side collision The seated person of seat 10L.Therefore, air bag can fully play seated person defencive function.
Rib 30 be set as lodging in the seated person side of lid face 20b1 state, but using helical spring as force section Part 30a, makes helical spring be wound in support shaft 30c of rib.Therefore, rib 30 is promptly erected into during the rotation of lid 20b Substantially vertical.Also, before lid 20b rotates upward 180 °, rib 30 is erected and waited, and, by helical spring 30a Spring force, rib 30 firmly erects into substantially vertical, is from behind securely supported at the lid that have rotated 180 ° upward The substantially position of vertical.Therefore, bending moment when lid 20b can fully bear side collision.
Additionally, making helical spring 30a be combined in the structure of rib 30, structure can be made to simplify and miniaturization.
In addition, support member is rib, rib can by sheet material formings such as steel plates, therefore in the state of lodging thickness also compared with It is thin.Therefore, the length (width) of the left and right directions of handrail 16 less increases compared with there be not ribbed structure.
If also, the support chip in rib arranges limiting unit 30b1, due to the active force of force application part (helical spring) 30a And the limiting unit of rib 30 for rotating is abutted Yu the surface 20b1 in Cover faces.Due to limiting unit 30b1 of rib, rib 30 is relative to lid Erect, lid 20b is reliably supported in from behind rib the set-up positions of lid 20b surface 20b1 substantially verticals.Therefore, cover Body 20b can further bear bending moment during side collision.
As described above, when occurring from the side collision on right side, being accommodated in the handrail 16 of the left seat 10L as distally Air bag 22 expand, and the opening K from the side of the seated person side (left side) for being formed at handrail is bloated and launched.As lid 20b When being pressed and rotated upward by air bag 22, rib 30 is erected, and supports on airbag housing 20 and from behind lid, and by lid Support into substantially vertical.Also, air bag bloats and launches and protect the seated person in distally.
Conversely, when occurring from the side collision in left side, being accommodated in the air bag of the handrail of right seat 10R as distally Bloat and launch and protect the seated person in distally.That is, the handrail both sides in left and right seat 10L, 10R are accommodated with air bag, therefore In the side collision of either one of left and right, the seated person in distally is all protected by air bag.
Fig. 4 (A-1), Fig. 4 (A-2) are that the front inversion for representing handrail respectively puts the vehicle seat used side-looking with reception position Figure, Fig. 4 (B-1), Fig. 4 (B-2) are that the front inversion for representing handrail respectively puts the biopsy cavity marker devices with the backrest of reception position Outline partial enlarged drawing.Fig. 5 is the approximate three-dimensional map of the biopsy cavity marker devices for representing backrest frame, support member and handrail.
The inertia force FL of seated person is transferred to handrail 16 via air bag 22.Thus, bending moment acts on handrail, handrail It is possible to be reversed to side collision side (right side).Therefore, in order to prevent from reversing, between handrail 16 and backrest 14, helping Holding member 50 is provided with around rotary shaft 16a of handss.
Holding member 50 is respectively arranged on the handrail of right seat 10R and left seat 10L, but imagination is touched from the side on right side The holding member for hitting F and being located at the handrail of the left seat as distally is described.The holding of right seat 10R and left seat 10L Other are identical in addition to symmetrical for the structure of part 50.
As shown in figure 5, holding member 50 is formed as from the generally fan-shaped of front direction rear expansion by sheet materials such as such as steel plates Shape.Holding member 50 has flat part 52 and protuberance 54, face (right flank) of the protuberance located at the handrail side of holding member.
The rear portion of the left surface 16e of handrail contacts with the face of flat part 52, and holding member 50 is fixed on by the contact surface Handrail.Protuberance 54 is formed to forward lower part from the rear top of holding member 50, and observation Fig. 5 and Fig. 4 (A-1) understands, prominent The linear upper surface 54a and curvilinear front end face 54b in portion is formed as partly keeping the linear of handrail rear portion respectively Lower surface 16f and curvilinear rear surface 16g.
That is, the rear portion of handrail 16 is kept by the protuberance 54 of holding member, and in other words, holding member 50 keeps helping from rear Handss 16, play a role as the receiving portion of handrail.
So, the linear upper surface 54a in protuberance keeps the linear lower surface 16f and protrusion at handrail rear portion The curvilinear front end face 54b in portion is kept in the structure of the curvilinear rear surface 16g at handrail rear portion, and handrail 16 is with maintaining part Part 50 is reliably rotated.
Axle supported hole 52a is formed with the flat part 52 of holding member, and installs restricted near axle supported hole Pin 52b.Axle supported hole 52a is the hole for becoming the rotary shaft 16a insert of the center of rotation of handrail.And, across maintaining part The backrest frame 14-1 of part 50 be also formed with handrail 16 for rotary shaft insert corresponding axle supported hole 14-1a, 16a’.Banking pin 52b is for example in the lower section of axle supported hole 52a located at the front of axle supported hole 52a, observation Fig. 4 (B-1) and Fig. 4 (B-2) understand, extend to the direction (left) towards the side of backrest (backrest frame 14-1).
